Epson Printers - Automatic Daily Print Test

[Justin]

Looking to run a daily test print to the printer, ideally a nozzle check or similar. Is best way to schedule a small print to run or is there a clever bit of software I havn't found yet that will do it for me?

I presume a wide format printer in which case I can not help.

But if its a desk top, then just set a reminder on your phone and send something using the Epson app on your phone.

Seems a bit of over kill to be doing a nozzle check everyday though matey.

You could probably do this using the in-built Windows Task Scheduler. It could run a .bat file or a PHP script at a set time each day.

I believe this does what you need.

it would have to have a print rather than a test print but you can print whatever you like whenever you like.

Epson 1500's, I'm not in everyday at the minute so just want to keep things moving.

Are you still running on Linux, Justin? Not sure whether it's a Windows or Linux solution you are looking for.

Another option that seems quite nice, and doesn't involve anything other than inputting a few basic settings and scheduling a job to be run at whatever times you like.
